Great  Record 


Arizona's  supremacy  in  copper  now 
"is  undisputed.  Last  year  the  Territory 
led  the  United  States  in  copper  pro- 
duction, passing  both  Montana  and 
Michigan.  This,  however,  is  not  the 
main  feature.  The  far  more  impor- 
tant fact  is  that  in  Arizona  have  been 
developed  copper-bearing  areas  in  size 
and  in  enrichment  surpassing  anythLog 
of  the  sort  elsewhere  ;  and  for  many 
years  to  come,  the  chiefest  source  for 
copper  upon  the  western  continent  is, 
and  will  be,  Arizona. 

.  Last  year  Arizona  produced  in  miner- 
als over  $250  for  every  man,  woman  and 
Child  in  the  Territory.  It  produced 
last  year  over  one-quarter  of  all  the 
copper  in  the  coimtry  ;  over  one-eighth 
if  the  whole  world!

Introduction 

The  immense  mineral  resources  of  Arizona  have  attracted  the  attention  of  the  world  for 
centuries  past,  but  it  is  only  since  1 855  that  American  capital  has  entered  this  Territory  with  any 
degree  of  safety  and  confidence. 

Arizona  is  looked  upon  to-day  as  one  of  the  richest  mineral  regions  in  the  world,  and  there 
is  now  no  hesitation  among  American  capitalists  when  Arizona  enterprises  offer  their  stock  for 
saie. 

The  fame  of  Arizona  as  a  copper  producer  is  well  sustained.  The  great  camps  of  Bisbee, 
United  Verde,  Jerome,  Clifton,  Carlisle  and  Morenci  have  been  producing  actively  for  years. 
TTie  production  is  steadily  increasing  every  year  with  the  most  profitable  results.  ,

The  demand  for  copper  is  increasing  every  year.  TTiis  is  the  age  of  electricity,  and  each 
new  use  of  electricity  increases  the  demand.  The  construction  of  telephone  systems,  trolley  car 
lines,  telegraph  lines,  engines  and  appliances  of  all  kinds,  in  every  part  of  the  world,  makes  it  cer- 
tain that  unless  some  substitute  for  copper  is  discovered  or  some  new  source  of  supply  is  found, 
the  demand  will  more  than  keep  pace  with  the  supply;  and  when  electricity  supersedes  steam  as  a 
motive  power  for  our  railroads,  all  the  copper  mines  in  the  world  will  not  be  able  to  supply  suffi- 
cient metal  necessary  for  the  transformation.  To  provide  for  the  enormous  demand  for  copper, 
new  fields  must  of  necessity  be  sought  and  developed. 

Arizona  now  ranks  first  in  the  United  States  in  its  output  of  copper,  and  it  is  destined  to 
keep  on  occupying  first  place  for  years  and  years  to  come. 


Brooklyn-Arizona    Mining    Company 


Organization 

The  Articles  of  Incorporation  of  the  "Brooklyn-Arizona  Mining  Company"  were  drafted 
by  men  well  versed  in  the  requirements  of  mining  corporations.  Not  only  can  we  operate  rich  mines 
of  copper,  gold  and  silver  under  our  well-drawn  charter,  but  we  can  mill  and  smelt  our  own  prod- 
ucts, as  well  as  reap  profits  through  treating  ores  from  other  mines,  if  we  so  desire;  and,  in  addi- 
tion, the  "Brooklyn-Arizona  Mining  Company"  enjoys  numerous  other  privileges;  in  fact,  has  the 
basis  laid  for  a  great  organization  that  has  as  its  object  the  reaping  of  profits  from  mines,  smelt- 
ing works,  and  the  numerous  accessories  in  connection  therewith. 


Capital  of  the  Company 

TTie  authorized  capital  of  the  "Brooklyn-Arizona  Mining  Company"  is  $2,500,000.00, 
divided  into  250,000  shares  at  the  par  value  of  $10.00  each,  full  paid  and  non-assessable,  of 
which  1 00,000  are  for  the  benefit  of  the  treasury,  available  for  payment  of  properties,  procuring 
and  erection  of  machinery,  plants,  mills,  buildings,  etc.,  necessary  for  the  carrying  on  of  mining 
and  development  operations  on  a  large  scale,  and  for  the  general  purposes  of  the  company,  as 
the  directors  may  from  time  \o  time  deem  proper. 


Mining  as  a  Business 

The  "Brooklyn-Arizona  Mining  Company"  is  the  outgrowth  of  months  of  hard  work  and 
the  careful  study  of  its  properties.  Large  sums  of  money  have  been  expended  in  the  development 
of  the  properties  and  we  now  consider  this  enterprise  based  on  a  sound  business  foundation. 


Permanency  of  Ore  Body 

Mines  in  Arizona  go  to  great  depth  and  the  ore  bodies  are  permanent,  values  increasing 
as  depth  is  attained.  This  is  absolutely  proven  by  hundreds  of  mines  which  have  already  reached 
a  depth  of  from  1 ,500  to  4,000  feet.  Many  of  the  Arizona  mines  are  owned  by  close  corporations, 
and  no  statement  of  the  large  output  in  these  ever  reaches  the  public.

Mining  Properties  , 

The  properties  are  located  about  20  miles  southeast  of  Mayer  (a  railroad  and  smelting 
point),  in  the  Black  Hills  Range  of  Mountains,  in  the  Squaw  Creek  Mining  District  (about 
26  miles  south  of  United  Verde),  Yavapai  County,  Arizona,  which  field  is  universally  regarded 
as  the  most  extensive  mineralized  zone  to  be  found  in  the  United  States.

Topography 

Lying  on  the  west  of  the  Brooklyn  group  of  mines  is  a  plateau  cut  into  deep  gorges  and 
canyons.  On  the  north,  east  and  south  is  a  range  of  mountains  dividing  the  waters  of  the  Verde 
and  Agua  Fria  rivers.  This  group  of  claims  runs  in  a  northerly  and  southerly  direction  and  lies 
in  a  basin  about  300  feet  lower  than  the  surrounding  country.  On  the  north,  east  and  south 
are  mountains,  and  on  the  west  a  high  bank.  TTiese  claims  cover  the  entire  basin  and  extend  on 
the  north  and  south  to  the  top  of  the  mountains.  This  basin  is  unquestionably  the  crater  of  an  old 
extinct  volcano.  The  altitude  of  the  property  at  the  lowest  point  is  about  3,600  feet,  and  the 
highest  point  about  4,500  feet.  A  line  drawn  from  the  United  Verde  Copper  Mine  at  Jerome, 
Arizona,  due  south  to  Bisbee,  Arizona,  runs  right  through  the  center  of  this  group  of  claims.     The 


DUTCH  BASm  AND  SQUAW  MOUNTAIN 


property  is  of  easy  approach.  A  good  wagon  road  runs  from  Mayer  to  and  across  the  prop- 
erty, 5  miles  of  which  have  been  built  by  the  "Brooklyn-Arizona  Mining  Company."  The  South- 
ern Pacific  Railroad  has  already  had  surveys  made  for  a  line  to  the  Brooklyn  camp;  also  the 
Atchison,  Topeka  &  Santa  Fe  Railroad  has  surveyed  with  the  intention  of  changing  the  route  of 
its  main  line,  and  will  pass  within  4  miles  northeast  of  the  Brooklyn  group.  There  has  been  incor- 
porated within  the  past  two  years  a  new  railroad  company  called  the  Humboldt  and  Verde  Valley 
Railway  Company,  which  will  run  from  Hamboldt  through  the  Agua  Fria,  Cherry  Creek,  Copper 
Creek  and  Squaw  Creek  mining  districts,  thus  insuring  the  very  best  transportation  facilities.  Its 
topography  insures  operating  on  an  economical  basis.

Geology 

The  Squaw  Creek  Mining  District  is  of  volcanic  formation  belonging  to  the  Tercerean 
geological  age.  Basaltic  upheavals  are  found  all  over  the  district,  which  have  uplifted  the  car- 
boniferous sandstone  formation  to  a  perpendicular  position  on  the  Brooklyn  group  of  claims. 
TTie  copper  ores  bearing  gold  have  been  precipitated  by  static  pressure  from  below  into  heavy 
ore  veins.  This  condition  is  in  evidence  all  over  this  group  of  claims  and  strong  veins  of  copper 
can  be  seen  and  followed  the  entire  length  and  breadth  of  the  property  between  porphyry  walls.

The  flat  or  level  part  of  the  country  is  covered  with  a  flow  of  basalt  rock  from  50  to  1 00 
feet  in  depth.  Where  the  basalt  has  been  seared  away  by  erosion  shows  the  formation  of  the  crystal- 
line rocks,  etc.  Numerous  dykes  of  trachyte  and  diarite  traverse  this  formation  diagonally,  demon- 
strating the  most  favorable  conditions  for  the  existence  of  extensive  ore  bodies.  In  addition,  there 
are  several  great  veins  of  quartz,  varying  from  6  to  over  50  feet  in  width,  cutting  through  with  a  strike 
nearly  north  and  south,  containing  copper  ore.  Throughout  the  entire  length  of  this  property  these 
veins  run.  In  them  various  forms  of  copper  ore  exist,  appearing  at  and  above  the  surface  from 
3  to  20  feet.'containing  rich  values  in  copper  and  gold.  In  the  various  shafts  on  the  property  the 
ore  goes  down  vertically,  and  the  veins  all  show  increased  width  and  value  as  depth  is  attained.

Mineralogy  and  Ores 

The  ore  in  the  numerous  veins  in  the  Brooklyn-Arizona  mine  consists  of  silicates  and  lime 
dyarites,  carrying  copper  in  oxides,  native  chrysacolla,  malachyte,  azurite,  chalcopyrite,  redruthite 
and  sulphide.  The  ores  in  every  vein  carry  copper,  gold  and  silver,  with  a  favorable  percentage 
of  iron,  sulphur  and  lime. 


Solid  ore  body  as- 
saying from  8.3%  to 
38%  copper,  $10  in 
gold  and  $3.85  in 
silver  per  ton. 


This  group  of  mines  has  many  advantages  over  all  other  properties  in  the  Squaw  Creek 
Mining  District.  It  has  a  showing  from  the  development  that  has  been  done,  of  the  making  of 
one  of  the  greatest  copper-producing  mines  in  the  country.  There  are  24  large  quartz  veins  run- 
ning through  the  claims,  all  carrying  heavy  values  in  copper,  gold  and  silver.  Tlie  topography 
of  the  property  is  such  that  being  so  much  lower  than  the  surrounding  country,  the  veins  from 
the  north,  east,  south  and  west  all  converge  into  this  property.  The  ores  can  be  treated  at  a  very 
low  cost,  as  they  are  of  such  a  character,  carrying  nearly  all  the  Huxes  necessary  to  smelt  them- 
selves, in  fact,  are  the  kind  of  ores  that  smelting  companies  must  have  in  order  to  smelt  the  refactory 
ores  produced  by  the  great  majority  of  the  copper  mines  of  the  country.  It  has  one  of  the  greatest 
surface  showings  on  the  Great  Verde  Copper  Belt.

Development 

The  development  to  date  consists  of  the  sinking  of  shafts,  cross-cuts  and  tunnels.  There  are 
a  number  of  shafts  and  openings  on  the  property  from  1 0  to  over  300  feet  deep. 

Jasper  Claim  No.  1  has  4  shafts  from  25  to  over  300  feet  deep,  all  in  copper  ore  assaying  from 
6.8  to  84  per  cent  copper  and  from  $10.00  to  $80.00  in  gold  and  from  $3.00  to  $100.00  in  silver 
per  ton.  No.  I  shaft  in  the  center  of  this  claim,  5  by  7  feet  and  50  feet  deep,  shows  a  vein  at 
bottom  of  shaft  2 1  feet  wide  of  solid  ore,  mostly  in  the  shape  of  chalcopyrite,  redruthrite,  azurite 
and  malachite.     This  vein  widens  from  top  to  bottom  of  shaft.     No.  2  shaft,  located  about  1 00

feet  east  of  shaft  No.  I  on  another  vein  of  ore,  is  5  by  7  feet  and  40  feet  deep;  shows  vein  at  bot-

This  vein  also  widens  from  top  to  bottom  of  shaft.  There  have  been  many  tons  of  ore  taken  out 
of  these  two  shafts  and  sold.  The  average  value  taken  was  14  per  cent  copper,  $12.00  gold  and 
20  ounces  silver  per  ton. 

A  careful  assay  of  the  ore  from  the  bottom  of  these  two  shafts  shows  as  follows:

Shaft  No.  3  is  located  about  1 25  feet  northeast  of  shaft  No.  2  on  another  vein  of  ore  that 
outcrops  on  the  surface  25  feet  wide  and  projects  above  the  ground  from  3  to  over  1 5  feet  in  places. 
This  shaft  was  sunk  25  feet,  but  has  partly  caved.  There  was  taken  out  some  very  rich  ore  assay- 
ing as  high  as  84  per  cent  in  copper,  $80.00  in  gold  and  $5.00  in  silver  per  ton,  the  average  value 
being  20  per  cent  copper,  $10.00  in  gold  and  $5.00  in  silver  per  ton.  Shaft  No.  4  is  located 
middle  way  between  shaft  No.  I  and  shaft  No.  2.  This  is  the  main  shaft  of  the  group,  and  on 
it  all  the  present  work  in  the  development  of  the  property  is  being  done,  and  is  about  400  feet  in 
depth,  timbered  with  8x8  inch  Oregon  pine;  has  three  compartments,  and  is  1 2  x  5  feet  clear  inside 
the  timbers,  and  is  one  of  the  largest  vertical  shafts  being  sunk  in  the  Territory  of  Arizona.     At 


GALLOWS  FRAME  OVER  MAIN  WORKING  SHAFT 


depth  of  90  feet  a  large  vein  of  ore  was  discovered  in  the  bottom  of  the  shaft.  This  vein  does 
not  outcrop  on  the  surface.  What  the  width  of  this  vein  is  we  are  unable  to  say,  as  it  has  not 
been  cross-cut,  but  the  width  of  the  shaft  all  in  ore  does  not  touch  either  wall  and  the  vein  seems 
to  stand  perfectly  straight.  The  work  is  being  carried  on  at  this  shaft  with  all  possible  speed  and 
it  is  proposed  to  sink  it  to  a  depth  of  1 ,000  feet,  cross-cutting  north,  east,  south  and  west  at  every 
100  feet. 

There  are  several  veins  lying  on  the  east  and  west  of  the  main  shaft  running  parallel  with 
each  other  which  show  every  evidence  that  they  will  all  come  together  into  one  great  mass,  form- 
ing one  gigantic  vein.  All  the  other  claims  have  been  sufficiently  developed  by  shafts,  tunnels 
and  cross-cuts  to  prove  the  ore  bodies  to  be  permanent  and  rich.

POWER  PLANT  AS  IT  LOOKS  TO-DAY 


is  considering  the  erection  of  a  number  of  houses  with  from  three  to  five  rooms,  for  miners  with 
families.  It  is  our  purpose  to  make  this  a  model  camp.  There  are  also  other  buildings,  such  as 
a^large  blacksmith  shop  fully  equipped  with  tools  of  every  name  and  kind,  and  a  large  commo- 
dious stable,  hay  and  grain  barn,  also  wagon  shed. 

The  company  has  on  hand  several  carloads  of  mining  timbers  and  pipe  of  various  sizes. 
In  the  opinion  of  those  who  are  at  the  mine,  and  our  engineers,  the  property  is  as  finely  equipped 
as  is  to  be  found  at  the  largest  and  best  of  mines  anywhere;  pointing  to  this  fact,  that  everything 
that  has  been  done  on  the  Brooklyn-Arizona  is  of  the  best,  means  permanency  and  economy  for 
the  company.

Titles 

TTie  titles  of  the  properties  are  perfect,  being  in  compliance  with  the  mining  laws  of  the 
United  States  and  duly  recorded  under  the  laws  of  Arizona. 

Water 

There  are  several  springs  of  line  water  on  this  group  of  claims,  one  of  which  has  been  fully 
developed  and  is  an  underground  reservoir  containing,  during  the  driest  season  of  the  year, 
over  60,000  gallons,  and  is  piped  to  every  building  on  the  property.  This  ample  supply  is  a 
great  asset  to  the  company,  being  worth  many  thousands  of  dollars. 


THE  NEW  BOARDING  HOUSE,  STORE  AND  KITCHEN 


Fuel 

The  company  is  supplied  with  fuel  for  some  time  to  come,  having  on  hand  many  hundred 
cords  of  wood,  and  more  to  come. 

Transportation 

Transportation  facilities  are  favorable.  Cordes  Siding,  a  railroad  point,  is  only  about 
14  miles  from  the  Brooklyn- Arizona  properties.  The  conditions  are  such  that  a  spur  track  can 
be  built  at  a  nominal  expense.  In  fact,  we  have  been  assured  transportation  facilities  at  an  early 
date.

Facts  and  Features 

It  is  a  well  known  fact  that  Arizona  has  won  first  place  in  the  production  of  copper  in  the 
United  States,  and  is  rapidly  gaining  in  production.  With  such  a  showing,  combined  with  the 
great  showing  of  the  Brooklyn-Arizona  property,  the  opportunity  which  we  offer  should  appeal 
to  every  one  as  an  investment  worthy  of  consideration,  because  of  its  many  features.

Boston,  Mass. 

Gentlemen:  I  enclose  you  copy  of  assay  which  was  made  from  my  very  thorough  sampling 
of  the  outcroppings,  open  cuts,  etc.,  on  the  Brooklyn- Arizona  property.  It  substantiates  every 
statement  that  you  have  ever  made  to  me,  and  I  am  thoroughly  convinced  that  your  property  is 
by  far  richer  than  any  mine  that  has  ever  been  opened.  This  is  the  final  result  of  an  eight  months 
investigation  of  the  company  and  its  property,  and  I  wish  to  state  that  you  cannot  recommend  it 
too  highly  in  any  respect. 

This  assay  was  made  in  my  presence  and  I  can  vouch  for  its  accuracy.  I  did  not  have 
the  gold  values  ascertained,  as  it  was  getting  so  late  in  the  evening  that  we  had  not  the  time  to 
finish  it  up.  However,  the  assay  on  copper  alone  was  enough  to  fully  demonstrate  the  value 
of  your  proposition,  and  I  have  no  doubt  that  the  gold  values  would  have  been  fully  equal  to 
any  of  your  printed  statements.  Yours  very  truly,

Conclusion 

The  history  of  mining  proves  that  great  mines  are  found  where  nature  impresses  her  seal 
so  plainly  as  to  render  impossible  any  doubt  as  to  the  existence  of  mineral.  In  Yavapai  County, 
Arizona,  more  and  richer  mines  are  known  to  exist  than  in  any  other  section  of  the  mineral  West.  It 
may  be  stated  that  Yavapai  County  covers  an  area  of  8,000  square  miles.  Some  fertile  valleys  are 
centered  between  the  mountain  ranges,  but  on  the  whole  it  is  a  rough  and  rugged  mountainous  region.

While  its  development  may  be  considered  little  more  than  in  its  infancy,  with  the  present 
discovered  and  developed  mines,  and  the  erection  of  additional  plants  for  the  treatment  of  ores, 
now  projected,  this  wonderfully  rich  mining  country  bids  fair  to  outrank  any  like  area  in  the  world 
in  the  production  of  bullion.  The  whole  country  is  literally  a  network  of  veins  and  ledges,  and 
no  mining  region  can  show  ores  carrying  so  high  a  percentage  of  metals  as  the  mines  of  Yavapai 
County.  Capital  has  done  but  little  in  the  way  of  developing  the  mineral  wealth  of  Yavapai 
County,  and  it  may  be  carefully  stated  that  FOR  EVERY  DOLLAR  INVESTED  IN  THE 
MINES  OF  THIS  COUNTY,  TEN  DOLLARS  HAVE  BEEN  EXTRACTED.  The 
intrinsic  merit  and  wonderful  richness  of  the  mines  have  really  developed  themselves,  and  while 
millions  of  dollars  have  been  expended  in  dead  work  in  Montana,  California,  Wyoming,  and  Utah, 
without  returning  a  dollar,  the  mines  of  old  Yavapai  have  paid  from  the  "grass  roots,"  to  use  a 
homely  but  expressive  mining  phrase. 


Brooklyn-Arizona    Mining    Company 

Frederick  E.  Small,  M.  E.,  says 

"TTiere  are  no  fissure  veins  in  any  part  of  the  United  States,  Canada  or  Mexico  that  can 
show  as  much  rich  high  grade  copper  ore  as  can  be  seen  on  the  veins  of  the  Brooklyn  group.  I 
have  thoroughly  examined  the  entire  property  as  well  as  all  the  surrounding  properties  in  the 
Squaw  Creek  and  Copper  Creek  mining  districts.  I  have  no  hesitation  in  saying  that  the  Brook- 
lyn group  has  a  greater  and  richer  body  of  ore  than  any  other  property  in  either  Copper  Creek 
or  Squaw  Creek  mining  districts,  and  will  make  one  of  the  largest  copper  producing  mines  in  the 
country,  and  I  would  not  be  surprised  if  it  proved  greater  and  richer  than  the  famous  'United 
Verde'  at  Jerome,  Arizona.  Every  indication  points  that  way,  if  I  am  any  judge.  I  have  seen 
the  best  so-called  mines  in  all  parts  of  the  country  and  examined  many  in  the  past  eighteen  years, 
but  I  have  never  before  seen  or  examined  one  equal  to  the  Brooklyn  group."

Plain  Facts 


"The  National  Banker"  in  a  recent  issue  makes 
the  unequivocal  statement  that  the  combined  divi- 
dends paid  by  the  gold  and  silver  mining  companies 
of  the  United  States  are'greater  than  the  combined 
dividends  paid  by  all  the  banking  institutions  in  the 
United  States.  That  the  combined  dividends  paid 
by  the  copper  mining  companies  of  the  United 
States  are  greater  than  the  combined  dividends 
paid  by  all  the  railroads  in  the  United  States,  and 
that  52  per  cent  of  the  freight  hauled  by  these  same 
railroads  is  either  ore  or  some  commodity  associated 
with  the  mining  or  milling  of  ore. 


To  this  somewhat  astounding  and  not  gener- 
ally known>'fact„  "Bradstreet's"  and  "Dun's" 
commercial  agencies  supply  the  somewhat  startling 
addenda  that  but  36  per  cent  of  all  legitimate  min- 
ing investments  fail,  as  against  about  54  per  cent 
in  general  commercial  lines. 


More  and  greater  fortunes  have  been  made  in 
mining  than  in  any  other  line  of  business.  There 
are  thousands  of  instances  where  investments  in 
bona  fide  copper  properties  have  returned  many 
hundred-fold  for  every  dollar  invested,  and  have 
made  men  and  women  independent  for  the  bal- 
ance of  their  lives.  A  few  dollars  invested  in  the 
Brooklyn-Arizona  Mining  Company  NOW,  will  in 
our  opinion  repay  you  many  times  the  original 
investment. 

It  is  needless  to  tell  you  that  if  you  want  to  get 
your  share  of  profit,  it  will  be  necessary  for  you  to
